...at the seams.This was one of our Christmas presents - a 1000 piece jigsaw with pictures from my sister's family's visit in August (some seen here previously). We thoroughly enjoyed doing it and the kids all had moments of coming over and spotting themselves in it.
As I am recovering, Exile #2 is going down with one of our winter colds so we've taken it slightly easy today. While driving around (a rare trip to the mall today) we have been listening to They Might Be Giants - Here Come the 123s (one of E5N1's Christmas presents) and have all been left singing ridiculously catchy original songs about Triops ("Needles have an eye, tornadoes have an eye, potatoes have a lot of eyes but triops has three eyes..."), number sevens crashing a party ("We want cake, where's our cake?") and a traditional folk song:
On Mondays I never go to work
On Tuesdays I stay at home
On Wednesdays I never feel inclined -
work is the last thing on my mind
On Thursdays - it's a holiday!
And Fridays I detest
Oh it's much too late on a Saturday
And Sunday is the day of rest.
In fact I will be back at work on Friday, but until then it's pop pun 92 for title watchers 'cos he sounds like a drag!
Jarod has been a lifelong TMBG fan so we were delighted when we discovered their kids music - or maybe it's all kids music?
ReplyDeleteWe have "Here Come the ABCs" which includes the backwards alphabet song (very handy when you want to impress grandparents) and the Alphabet of Nations, amongst other pleasing ditties.
Looks like the 123s needs to be next on our list!

Very impressed that you have completed it already...had wondered if help from E5N1 might make it difficult.

Sara - I can definitely recommend it!
ReplyDeleteJ - We had a few tense moments when we thought he might climb up and pull it off the table, but it survived as you can see. If we hadn't got it done during the 'holiday' time I suspect it might have taken quite a while!
